Another “girly” book writer, Shannon Hale is also one of my favorite authors. Her books aren’t just for girls though – my brother is just as eager as I am to read her new books when they come out.

Princess Academy

The first Shannon Hale book that I read, it’s also one of my favorites. The sequel, Princess Academy: Palace of Stone came out not too long ago. I bought it immediately and read it as quickly as possible – it did not disappoint!

The Goose Girl (Books of Bayern)

Colter and I love this series. We don’t have it, but every year or so we get it from the library and re-read it.  There are three more in the Bayern series: Enna Burning, River Secrets, and Forest Born. We can’t decide which one we like best, they’re all so good! We actually named one of our baby goats Bayern one year, and Colter and I were the only ones who knew what it meant. 😀

I’ve also read Austenland, which was very enjoyable. I can’t wait to see what Shannon’s going to release next!

Have you read any of these? What did you think of them?
